When it comes to getting little ones to eat, parents are always on the lookout for clever tricks that actually work. Enter the latest parenting hack that’s making waves: the sticker hack. It might sound a little out there, but parents swear by simply putting a sticker on their child’s forehead to get them to eat, and it’s as simple as that.
It all started when Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared her experience with this quirky method. The 28-year-old mom took to social media to reveal how she gets her 20-month-old son, Bronze, to eat his meals without a fuss. Her secret? A sticker on his forehead.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Brittany showed off how she places a sticker — like a cute dinosaur or plant — right on Bronze’s forehead. And just like that, mealtime becomes a breeze. “I put a sticker on his forehead and he eats every time,” Brittany wrote, adding a few laughing emojis to show her own amusement at the situation. “Please tell me how this makes sense,” she added, clearly still surprised by how well it works.
And she’s not alone. Parents across the internet are starting to give this hack a try, with many finding similar success. The idea is that the sticker distracts the child just enough to get them to focus on their food, rather than resisting or playing with it. It’s a fun and harmless way to turn what can sometimes be a stressful situation into something lighthearted and effective.
Brittany’s followers loved the idea, and many other parents have started to test it out with their own kids. Some report that it turns mealtime into a fun game, where their children are more interested in eating just to keep the sticker in place. Others have found that it breaks up the monotony of eating, especially for picky eaters who might be reluctant to try new foods.
As Brittany and Patrick prepare to welcome their third child, a baby girl, it seems like they’ve got a solid handle on the challenges of parenting two young kids. And with football season just around the corner, it’s nice to see them making the most of their time together as a family.
So, if you’re a parent struggling with a picky eater, why not give the sticker-on-the-forehead trick a try? It might just be the simple, silly solution you’ve been looking for. After all, if it works for Brittany Mahomes, it might just work for you too!
